Abstract: Researchers at Biohub have officially released the "ESM Atlas," a groundbreaking database containing predicted protein structures. The atlas maps out over 800 million more structures than Google DeepMind’s AlphaFold database, and approximately 300 million more than its own previous version, with a heavy focus on previously unstudied metagenomic sequences. Utilizing the state-of-the-art AI model ESMFold2, the platform reportedly outperforms AlphaFold3 and other contemporary structure prediction systems, representing a massive leap forward for global genomic engineering, drug discovery, and synthetic biology.
